When the early morningfirstwisp of multi-colored sunlightaccording to the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gatetop, Colin still has not gone to sleep.
当凌晨的第一缕霞光照在银月城城头时,柯林依然没有入睡。Justlistened toKnight Loghto tellin detail when ridesarmed forces'situationwithbending downblack, Colinnowradically the having no interestsleep.
刚刚听完洛格骑士详细讲述了黑骑军遇伏时的情况,柯林现在根本无心睡眠。Butwas worriedVera who ownunclesafetyjusthad cried, at this timefinallycannot supportheavygoes off.
而担心自己叔叔安危的薇拉刚刚哭过一阵,此时终于撑不住沉沉睡去。Colinputs on the wool blankettoVerasoftly, thenhintsKnight Loghto followheto go out.
柯林轻手轻脚地给薇拉披上毛毯,然后示意洛格骑士跟着他出去。Two peoplearrive on the corridor outside palace, -and-a-half elfmaidservantsaskedcarefully:
两人来到殿外的走廊上,一位半精灵侍女小心地上前询问道:„ViscountSir, knightSir, needsto use the breakfast?”
“子爵大人,骑士大人,请问需要用早餐吗?”Colinhas no appetitenow, butlooked that Knight Loghthatappearancefearedfor sometimenot to eat mealwell, then the nodsaid: „Deliverstwoto come.”
柯林现在没什么胃口,不过看洛格骑士那副样子恐怕有段时间没有好好吃顿饭了,便点头道:“送两份过来。”Quick, the maidservantthencarriedtwodinner platesto walk.
很快,侍女便端着两个餐盘走了过来。„Puts the ground.”Colindoes not wantto disturbVerato sleep, thensits downon the stair of corridor.
“就放地上吧。”柯林不想打扰薇拉睡觉,便在走廊的台阶上坐下。Knight Loghwill not care abouttheseat this timeobviously, thenalsosits downbyColin.洛格骑士这时候显然也不会在意这些,便也在柯林旁边坐下。
The maidservantssee that hasto place the dinner plateon the stair, thendraws backfast.
侍女见状,只好将餐盘摆放在台阶上,然后快速退下。Forces in the mouthsomefoodconveniently, Colinalsoasks: „Therefore, marquisDawsonhasn't stated clearlytheambush that whoisplans?”
随手将一些食物塞进嘴里,柯林又问道:“所以,道森侯爵并没有明说到底是谁策划的这次伏击?”„No.”
“没有。”„ButMarquis Garciaoncesaid,isn'tDukeSt. Hildeplans?”
“但加西亚侯爵却曾说,不是圣希尔德公爵策划的?”„Yes.”
“是的。”
When Clintonwas also confused.
柯林顿时又迷茫了。Originallyhebelieves firmly that thisfrom beginning to endis the plot of DukeSt. Hilde, but, was deniedthispossibilitybyMarquis Garciaunexpectedly.
本来他都确信这从头到尾都是圣希尔德公爵的阴谋,但没想到,居然被加西亚侯爵否认这种可能。WhyMarquis Garciafelt won't ownElder Brotherplot againsthim?加西亚侯爵又凭什么觉得自己哥哥不会暗算他?Black in hishandrode the armyto become the northernboundarybiggestunstabilizing factor.
他手中的黑骑军可是早就成为北境最大的不稳定因素了。BeforeColinoncehad doubts, insituation why in the internal threathas not eliminated, DukeSt. Hildeplannedto schemehalfelfkingdom, evenschemed the easternboundary?
之前柯林就曾疑惑,为什么在内部威胁没有消除的情况下,圣希尔德公爵就计划着图谋半精灵王国,甚至图谋东境?If, halfelfkingdomis only a bait, the realgoal is actually to ride the armyblack, thatallexplainedpass.
如果,半精灵王国只是一个诱饵,真正的目标其实是黑骑军,那就一切就都解释得通了。However, whyMarquis Garciaactuallyinsteadbelieves isn't ownElder Brother this ambushsecretevil behind-the-scenes manipulator?
但是,为什么加西亚侯爵却反而相信自己哥哥不是这次伏击事件的幕后黑手?
If notDukeSt. Hilde, whothatwasstirred up rebellionmarquisDawson?
如果不是圣希尔德公爵,那到底是谁策反了道森侯爵?As ifsawColin'sdoubts, Knight Loghopened the mouthto ask: „ViscountSir, yoususpected that isDukeSt. Hildeinstigatestheambush?”
似乎看出了柯林的疑惑,洛格骑士开口问道:“子爵大人,您怀疑是圣希尔德公爵阴谋策划的这次伏击?”
The Colinsilentmoment, actuallyshakes the head: „Nowwantsto come, thisambushindeednottoopossibleisDukeSt. Hildeplansprobably.”
柯林沉默片刻,却摇了摇头:“现在想来,这场伏击好像的确不太可能是圣希尔德公爵策划的。”„Why?”
“为什么?”
„ DukeSt. HildecanmakemarquisDawsonbetrayMarquis Garcia, this pointIdid not suspect. However, howhepersuaded the easternboundaryarmyto coordinatehimto lay an ambushin the shadowcanyon?
“圣希尔德公爵可以让道森侯爵背叛加西亚侯爵,这一点我不怀疑。但是,他是怎么说动东境军队配合他在暗影峡谷设伏的呢?
The northernboundarythistimeschemeshalfelfkingdom, obviouslyhad touched the sensitive nerve of easternboundary.
要知道,北境这次图谋半精灵王国,显然已经触动了东境的敏感神经。Perhaps the St. Plossifamilyhas guarded againstDukeSt. Hildein secret, howalsopossiblyto coordinatehisplanto helphimeliminaterides the armyblack?圣普洛斯家族恐怕早就暗中提防圣希尔德公爵了,又怎么可能配合他的计划去帮他清除黑骑军?Theydid not worry that the shadowcanyon is actually DukeSt. Hildeunites the younger brotherto dig a goodtraptothem? ”
他们就不担心暗影峡谷其实是圣希尔德公爵联合自己弟弟给他们挖好的一个陷阱?”
The Knight LoghhearColin'sanalysis, approves ofvery muchnods.洛格骑士听完柯林的分析,很是赞同地点了点头。However, his eyeballrevolution, askedwith the seeminglyoptionaltone: „But if is really in view ofrides the ambush of armyDukeSt. Hildeplansblack, before you , was the revenge that pledgedeffective?”
不过,他眼珠子一转,又用貌似随意的语气问道:“但如果真的是圣希尔德公爵策划的这场针对黑骑军的伏击,那您之前承诺的复仇还有效么?”Colinthislittle whileis still thinkingwho the secretevil behind-the-scenes manipulatorpossiblyis, withoutcares about the Knight Loghissue, thenspoke thoughtlesslyto reply:
柯林这会儿还在想着幕后黑手可能是谁,也没有太在意洛格骑士的问题,便随口答道:„Naturallyeffective. IfDukeSt. Hildereallydoes the matter of thisseething discontent among the people, Iwill decidehoweverwill wantjusticeforMarquis Garcia!”
“当然有效。如果圣希尔德公爵真的干出这种天怒人怨的事情,那我定然会为加西亚侯爵讨一个公道!”„Will youkilldukeSirfor this reason?”
“那您会为此杀了公爵大人吗?”Colinlooked upKnight Logh, suddenlyrealized,this was actually subduesthisto ride the good opportunity of armyremnantarmyblack.
柯林抬头看了一眼洛格骑士,忽然意识到,这其实是个收服这支黑骑军残军的好机会。8000ride the armyblack!
八千黑骑军呐!Absolutelywas a not allow to neglectmilitary power.
绝对是一股不容忽视的军事力量了。Therefore, hereplied that is very simple: „IfMarquis Garciadiesinthisambush, mydoing everything possiblewill certainly make the secretevil behind-the-scenes manipulatorpay with a life, even ifthispersonisDukeSt. Hilde!”
所以,他回答地很干脆:“如果加西亚侯爵死在这场伏击中,那我一定会想方设法让幕后黑手偿命,哪怕这个人是圣希尔德公爵!”
The Knight Loghlooksparkles, seems likeinexcited, seems likehesitates.洛格骑士的眼神闪了闪,似乎是在激动,又似乎是在犹豫。
After the moment, heopens the mouthto askagain: „After DukeSt. Hildedies, northernboundaryLordposition, youthought that is inheritedappropriatelybywhom?”
片刻后,他再次开口问道:“那圣希尔德公爵死后,北境之主的位置,您觉得由谁来继承合适呢?”Colinknits the brows, thought that thisKnight Loghis somewhat strange.
柯林皱了皱眉,觉得这个洛格骑士有些奇怪。
Does healsocare aboutthisproblem?
他怎么还关心这种问题?According to the judgment of Marquis Garcia, as well asColininferreda moment ago, DukeSt. Hildehave cleared the suspicionbasically, howthisKnight Loghstartsto care that unexpectedlykilled the dukelatermatter?
按照加西亚侯爵的判断,以及柯林刚才的推理,圣希尔德公爵都已经基本洗清嫌疑了,怎么这个洛格骑士竟然都开始关心杀死公爵之后的事情了?Looks at an opposite partyfaceearnestappearance, Colinthinks that thisKnight Loghreceived the toobigstimulation, becomessomewhatunusual.
看着对方一脸认真的样子,柯林以为这位洛格骑士是受到了太大的刺激,才变得有些反常。„Ithought that MissVera is very suitableto inherit the northernboundary the Lordposition.”Colinthistimesaid the innermost thoughtsdirectly.
“我觉得薇拉小姐就很适合继承北境之主的位置。”柯林这次直接说出了心里话。Moreover, but also is saving the idea of probingKnight Logh.
而且,还存着试探洛格骑士的想法。HearsColinto replylike this,Knight Loghas ifrelaxes, says with a smile: „Ialsothought so.”
听到柯林这样的回答,洛格骑士似乎松了口气,笑道:“我也这么觉得。”Suchattitude, makingColinrealizeimmediately,thisKnight Logh is also knowsbetweenVeraandMarquis Garcia the person of realrelations!
这样的态度,让柯林立刻意识到,这位洛格骑士也是知道薇拉跟加西亚侯爵之间真实关系的人!Otherwise, according to the aristocratinherits the principle, the duke'sthird- Joyceinherits the positionto arrangebeforeVera.
否则的话,按照贵族继承法则,公爵第三子-乔伊斯的继承顺位可是排在薇拉之前的。Therefore, theresponse of Knight Logh can only show,healsoknowsVera'srealstatus.
所以,洛格骑士的这种反应只能说明,他也知道薇拉的真实身份。Butheas the Marquis Garciaknight, favors certainlyVera.
而他作为加西亚侯爵的骑士,当然更倾向于薇拉。However, this is not too actually accidental.
不过,这其实也不算太意外。
When Marquis Garciaon the point of death after makingKnight Loghleads , the armyrun out of the tight encirclement, thisexplainedobviouslyKnight Loghisdeeplyby the trusted aide who hetrusts, knows that Vera'srealstatusis also normal.加西亚侯爵临危之际让洛格骑士带领后军冲出重围,这显然说明了洛格骑士是深受他信任的心腹,知道薇拉的真实身份也正常。WhenColinpreparesto probeKnight Loghto knowwhoseVerabirth motheris, knightstridewalked, the reportsaid:
就在柯林准备试探一下洛格骑士知不知道薇拉生母是谁的时候,雷戈骑士大步走了进来,汇报道:„ViscountSir, that side the shadowcanyonspread the news.”
“子爵大人,暗影峡谷那边传来了消息。”„What kind of?”Knight Loghcannot bear the anxious soundask.
“怎么样?”洛格骑士忍不住急声问道。„The black in canyonrides the armyto be annihilated, Marquis GarciabyPegasusregimentcaptive.”
“峡谷中的黑骑军全军覆没,加西亚侯爵被天马军团俘虏。”Hearssuchnews, the eye of Knight Loghwas instantaneously red.
听到这样的消息,洛格骑士的眼睛瞬间红了。Hegrasps the right handblue vein of swordto stick out suddenly, ka kastraightsound that the sword hiltpinches.
他握剑的右手青筋暴起,将剑柄都捏的咔咔直响。Colinsighed, comforted saying: „This, althoughis not a goodnews, but is not at least worst, after allMarquis Garciais also living, we have the opportunityto redeemhim.”
柯林叹息一声,安慰道:“这虽然不是个好消息,但至少还不算最坏,毕竟加西亚侯爵还活着,我们还有机会将他赎回来。”„Right!”Knight Loghthenraised the head, in the lookrenewed a ray of hope.
“对!”洛格骑士这才抬起头来,眼神中重新燃起了一丝希望。Knighttouchedbaldly, opens the mouth saying: „Sir, actually, that side the shadowcanyonalsohas a bad news......”
雷戈骑士摸了摸光头,开口道:“大人,其实,暗影峡谷那边还有一个坏消息……”„Whatbad newsalsohas?”
“还有什么坏消息?”„Annihilatesrideseast of armyblack the boundaryregiment, at presentis comingin the direction of silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, it is expected thatagain about fivedayswill arrive.”
“歼灭黑骑军的那支东境军团,目前正往银月城的方向而来,预计再有五天左右就会抵达。”Colinstares the looking blankeyeball, askedhastily: „How manypeople do theyhave?”
柯林瞪直了眼睛,连忙问道:“他们有多少人?”„Approximatelyhas about 100,000.”
“大约有十万左右。”„100,000?”Colinis somewhat anxious.
“十万?”柯林有些忧虑。However, looks around faceearnestKnight Logh, thinksagaininitiallyMarquis Garciatoowntender guidance, as well asintegrated itselfto controlwith great difficultyhalfelfkingdom, Colindeeplyinspired, saidforcefully:
不过,看着旁边一脸殷切的洛格骑士,再想想当初加西亚侯爵对自己的悉心指导,以及好不容易才纳入自己掌控中的半精灵王国,柯林深吸一口气,铿锵有力地说道:„Fearsanything! Thathits! Theyalsodareto come the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateunexpectedly, revengeopportunity that thisdelivers!”
“怕什么!那就打!他们竟然还敢来银月城,这岂不是送上门来的复仇机会!”„Good!”Knight Loghshouldwithsayingloudly, immediatelyno longerhesitant, knees down, presentssaberboth handsin front ofColin,
“好!”洛格骑士大声应和道,随即不再犹豫,单膝跪地,将佩剑双手奉在柯林面前,„RespectableViscountAngelie, I am willingto take an oathto give loyalty to youhere! So long asyouare willingfor the Marquis Garciarevenge, that8000to ride the armyblackalsono matter whatyouurge!”
“尊敬的安格列子爵,我愿在此向您宣誓效忠!只要您愿意为加西亚侯爵复仇,那八千黑骑军也将任您驱使!”Colintwoeyesonebright, immediatelyreceived the Knight Loghsaber, selectedinhisshoulder:
柯林两眼一亮,当即接过洛格骑士的佩剑,在他肩头点了点:„I, ColinAngelie, acceptsyourgiving loyalty to!”
“我,柯林・安格列,接受你的效忠!”
